    Hi listers,

    I'm restoring my 1930 101 and wanted to change out from ball bearings to tapered roller bearings.  I found a top bearing with no problem but am stumped on the bottom.  The measurements as I measured them are 2 1/8 inch OD and 1 1/4 inch ID.  One of the suppliers in Europe has a full kit but with the exchange rate and shipping it's nearly $500.  A little rich for my blood.  Has anybody found a bearing that will fit the bottom stem?  If so do you have a brand and a number? 

    Thanks!
